Faintly Smile

Rosellene Valentine, the eldest daughter of Earl Valentine, was the epitome of beauty, a fragile and untouchable rose that bloomed in the frozen gardens of the Valentine estate. After reaching the depths of despair. She returned unexpectedly, stepping back in time by seven years. Before fate and time had ruined her. Then, She met him...The Duke of Eryndor, the kingdom's guardian and shield. She had become gracefully attuned to the admiring glances and silent reverence of those around her. So much that she could feel the weight of every lingering glance, the unspoken affection in his eyes, as his love for her bloomed, undeniable and apparent...once again. "Should your joy be the prize, I would gladly place myself at your service." His golden eyes seems to glow faintly in the dark as he whispered softly. (The Prince charming X The Damsel in Distress)

When a mountain comes to life, awakening its consciousness, it takes on another form—a Mountain Spirit. And that’s me reborn with extraordinary Divine powers. Want to know what these divine powers are? Well, one of them allows me to accelerate herb growth—up to one hundred times faster! Impressive, right? But wait, there’s more! I also possess a ‘golden finger’—which is ‘Space-Time’ system that lets me fish for lost techniques, weapons, pill formulas, and other treasures from the rivers of time and space. With these at my disposal, I’m sure to become stronger, at least stronger than the beautiful sect master who claims my mountain as her personal retreat and constantly drag me into her matters. It’s not an easy life, but no need to worry! I’m not just any spirit—I’m a human spirit born from a mountain, which means I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. To top it off, my system was generous enough to grant me a divine cultivation technique right from the start. There’s just one tiny problem: it’s a dual cultivation technique, and I need a partner to cultivate it. So, I had no choice but to convince the sect master’s stunning disciple to help me out. I mean, it’s not like I’m after her gorgeous long legs, her curvaceous thighs, or her… well, you get the point. I’m just a humble cultivator trying to grow stronger by any means necessary. If only she’d run into some trouble, so I could swoop in and save the day. That would make things a lot easier for me… but alas, life is never that simple. Still, I’ll find a way. With my Space-Time system, my mountain’s power, and a little charm, I’ll outgrow this mountain and surpass everyone—even the sect master. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll enjoy the beauties along the way. *** No NTR, No Yuri, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX

Afterwards, Lin Wu became a lady of high society, who got everything handed to her on a platter and was pampered by the tycoon to the heavens and back. —— Later. Lin Wu had become a renowned female entrepreneur. Standing on a high platform, she delivered her speech: "Our ancestors mostly valued boys over girls.

"To Love, To Leave"** Joey never expected to wake up inside a novel—but when a **system** assigns him a mission, his fate is sealed: **Find the tragic character. Make them happy. Then leave.** Each world presents a new **side character, villain, or second male lead**—someone destined for **pain and heartbreak** to make the original protagonists shine. Joey’s task is simple: **bring them happiness, rewrite their fate, and disappear without a trace.** But Joey doesn’t just follow the mission—he **becomes a part of their world.** With a **gentle yet mischievous nature**, he breaks down barriers, creates laughter where there was once sorrow, and makes himself **indispensable** in their lives. The catch? **He can’t stay.** Once his mission is complete, Joey must **leave**—but not entirely. A **piece of his soul, a perfect copy of himself, remains behind**, forever accompanying the person he once cherished. As Joey travels through different worlds, meeting **tragic yet unforgettable characters**, one question lingers in his heart: **Is it possible to change fate without losing himself in the process?** A **heartfelt BL transmigration novel** filled with fleeting love, bittersweet goodbyes, and the quiet beauty of making someone happy—even if it means never staying by their side.

As 21 years old Noah wakes up after his attempted suicide, he find out that he has transmigrated into the body of 14 years old Vasilisa, a young noble afflicted with the [Muddy Tongue] status effect preventing them from talking properly and thus using magic. Because of the many misconceptions linked to that status, he is now even more scorned and hated than he was in his previous life. Additionally, he is now in a girl's body—something he finds harder to adapts to than he would have thought at first. Thankfully, he soon find himself the ability to see "the blue", an ability allowing him to pull off critical hits at will. Will this ability allow him to make his way into this strange new world and prevent the ashes of war with demons to reinites themselves? Only the future can tell. ––– W.N : Only the future, huh ? XD Well, I am the author, the one who wrote this thing and this really formulaïc synopsis. The story, I hope, is anything but that, but you will be the judge there. Also, if subjects like suicide and depression makes you feel uncomfortable, maybe you shouldn't read this. The protagonist is not written to be the most positive person in the world and thr world is equally bleak. Expect a lot of violence as I think it somewhat make sense in a world obeying those rules. Also again, I will use game's terminologies without necessarily explaining them in details. Most explanations will be there to highlight how this universe's game mechanics differ from the usual ones. Will the hero/heroine, be OP ? Dunno. I would rather not and their ability isn't so rare to be fair. I have no idea if the main character should be considered a male or a female which is perfect. That's why it a male-lead book with the yuri (girl's love) tag. Now then, I only intended this to be a warning but I ended up rambling. Thank you for reading up until this point and I hope you will enjoy the book. X-)

Wenyan hatte ein Buch gelesen, in dem eine Figur, die ihren Namen trug, eine falsche Erbin war. Nachdem die wahre Erbin ihre Position eingenommen hatte, versuchte die Hochstaplerin, sich ihren Platz in der reichen Familie zu sichern, indem sie den ältesten Sohn unter Drogen setzte und aus einem gekochten Reis ein Geschäft machte, nur um von der Familie Shen entlarvt zu werden und schließlich aus Verzweiflung Selbstmord zu begehen. Wenyan war wütend über ein solches Ende. Wie konnte man ohne den Rückhalt einer wohlhabenden Familie nicht überleben? Hatte die Familie ihr nicht ein luxuriöses Haus und unzählige Luxusgüter zur Verfügung gestellt? Allein der Verkauf dieser Güter würde Dutzende von Millionen einbringen. Sie war einfach ein hoffnungsloser Fall! Wäre sie die Wenyan aus dem Buch, hätte sie ihre Stellung aufgegeben und einfach entspannt gelebt wie ein gesalzener Fisch! Aber als sie aus ihrem Schlaf erwachte, verwandelte sie sich tatsächlich in das Buch. Getreu ihrem Wort, hörte sie auf zu intrigieren. Über Nacht packte sie ihre Koffer, verkaufte ihr Haus, ihr Auto und ihre Taschen und suchte sich einen Job. - Die gesamte Familie Shen bemerkte die Veränderung von Wenyan, ihrer Adoptivtochter. Sie war nicht nur gehorsam ausgezogen, sondern machte auch keinen Ärger mehr. Noch seltsamer war, dass sie jetzt ihre innersten Gedanken sehen konnten! Papa, Mama, ich wollte nie in euer Nest eindringen, aber die DNA-Testergebnisse der wahren Tochter haben Probleme. Sie ist sogar noch falscher als ich, die Scheinerbin.】 Shen Familie Eltern: ...... Dann wurde die lange vermisste "Tochter", die gefunden worden war, als Hochstaplerin entlarvt und von der Polizei zum Verhör abgeführt. 【Großer Bruder, dieser Schulkamerad von dir taugt nichts, er ist ein Firmenspion, das uneheliche Kind der Erzfeinde der Shen Familie.】 Shen Family's eldest son: ...... Danach wurde der Mitschüler beim Diebstahl vertraulicher Dokumente erwischt und ebenfalls von der Polizei zum Verhör abgeführt. 【Zweiter Bruder, du bist so ein reiner und edler Mensch, du darfst nicht mit der Tochter der Qin-Familie zusammen sein, sie benutzt dich nur, ihr Herz ist eigentlich auf jemand anderen gerichtet.】 Der zweite Sohn der Familie Shen: ...... Danke, ich werde es mir ansehen. 【Und dritter Bruder, vierter Bruder......】 Am Ende konnte niemand vorhersehen, dass die unscheinbarste Adoptivtochter der Shen-Familie die verwöhnte Schwiegertochter werden würde.

Elysia, now living a new life, appears to be moving forward, yet the shadow of her past trauma continues to silently haunt her. Though she outwardly presents a sense of normalcy, the emotional scars remain, lurking just beneath the surface. Her struggle is one of silent endurance—she is constantly reminded of the trauma she carries, whether through memories, flashbacks, or subtle triggers in her new life.

The Luminary was offline, and the rifts were sealed, but the world was far from healed. Temporal Shadows still haunted some, and whispers of the Eclipsed lingered in dark corners. Victor and Lena moved to a quiet countryside, trying to rebuild their lives. But one night, as Victor stared out the window, he saw a faint figure standing in the distance. It looked like Eli, but his body was twisted, his eyes glowing faintly in the dark. And then, just as quickly as it appeared, it vanished. The shadows of tomorrow were still there, waiting.
